For this Stay & Play session we have invited Lucie Stephenson from NEF to talk about her experience of Childcare co-operatives. Childcare co-operatives take shape on a spectrum, from casual babysitting exchanges all the way to highly organised preschools with hundreds of participating families. This kind of peer-to-peer childcare initiative can cost as little as 50% of the cost of traditional provision and makes up nearly 10% of the childcare provision in Canada and New Zealand.
